      The Proverbial Click To Your Favorite Url

      By admin | April 20, 2008

      Placing URL links in an article is one way of increasing traffic to any website. This technique is provided by hundreds of article directories and authors are finding novel methods of amalgamating these subtle links to URL s that are a part of the author’s Most Wanted Response or are their USP (Unique Selling Proposition). At first glance the philosophy of increasing traffic to any website appears to be quite confusing and many authors dread this process. Authors normally try to locate an affordable SEO consulting person who manages their article submissions. It is great if you can find a suitable Search Engine Optimization Expert who is proficient enough to deliver the goods — the goods here are one way links to your website or any place on the Internet where you have interest. It is just like employing a sales person who goes about marketing your wares to the target audience.

      Most article directories have strict stipulations for the way an article is presented. Just check out any directory out of thousands on the net and you will invariably see the “Author’s Guidelines” and Resource Box where authors place their bio-data or expertise note. These article directories also ensure that you do not place live links to websites of relevance in an off hand manner. Specific guidelines are given as to where and how many URL links can be present in any one article. All authors are advised to study these stipulations and follow the simple steps given therein. This is the only way to have standardized article writing that do not reek of spamming or irrelevant diversion of logical traffic. All authors must also understand the important concept of “anchor text” that is conventionally used for exhibiting a link. A balanced linking and relevant anchor text will make your article sprint miles ahead in the great traffic race!

      All article directories provide what they term a “Resource Box” that is meant to be a credential ’sidebar’ for authors. They always encourage the writers to use this resource box to the fullest and try to keep the links within this space. The articles look more attractive and do not have those broken areas generally caused by a funny http://www… link that surely hinders the flow of the story. To write within the resource box could be termed as an art — or a science if you prefer it that way! It is also suggested that if one cannot avoid mentioning an URL for the purpose of relevance, follow up information or reference, creating emphasize for the subject under discussion, or just making a strong point it is worthwhile to use that magical concept of anchor words or anchor phrases to denote a live link that will take your visitor to the explanation of a sentence you have just mentioned. Quite ingenious you will agree!

      The resource box therefore is your “magic hat” and you can easily take out a rabbit or in relevant terms guide your visitor to consider learning more about the arguments you are placing before the person. What can be more democratic?

      Authors must spend a great deal of their time and effort in properly understanding the purpose of the “Resource Box”. There is a lot you can accomplish from this little space on article directories and sometimes that can be much more than what you achieve from the article itself! Most directories allow a maximum of three live links and three non-linking URLs in the article and suggest that these be only used in the resource box. One can still use the anchored links in the latter half of your article’s body and not be penalized for doing so by the management of the directory. Take these tips seriously as detailed in the Author’s Guidelines and you will be flooded with traffic on your important and relevant links.

      Is this not what you had begun to achieve?
